I did the same in the past and while I had a great time I also realised that I was the same person abroad as I was at home. Glasgow in the winter can be a problem as the lack of sunshine really doesn't help so in that respect going somewhere to get some decent weather can help your depression. Honestly just take a short holiday somewhere sunny where you can relax or experience something new. If you can't get a flight then jump on a train down south or out to a beach somewhere. Think about stuff you do like and then look up countries that have an abundence of them.
If you really want to work abroad then the easiest way is to take a TEFL course (make sure its one of the recognised ones like CELTA as loads of cheap dodgy ones that won't get you a job) and then apply for jobs aboard. Countries can be strict on who they take though so try and get your drinking sorted out first. |
